Congratulations, Joey, PE, director of operations in Arkansas, for being recognized by the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal as a distinguished member of the 2022 class of Forty Under 40.

According to the Business Journal, this year’s Forty Under 40 class includes men and women who have already made a name for themselves in their fields and are worth watching for their future contributions to the business community. This year’s program attracted a deep nomination pool from various industries. In choosing the winners, editorial staff looked for candidates who excel professionally and are actively involved in giving back to the community. 

A 2021 graduate of Leadership Arkansas Class XV, Joey joined Black Hills Energy in 2021. He represents the company on the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Arkansas 811 Board of Directors, as well as volunteers with Black Hills Energy’s community service projects like packing meals at Pack Shack and getting the Girl Scout camp ready for summer camp at the United Way Day of Caring.
